Month: June 2017

I was very fortunate to be selected as one of the speakers for this year’s NDC conference. Together with my colleague and friend Hans we delivered our blockchain talk. It was based on the talk we gave at Cloudbrew in December although the structure and the code have undergone a lot of changes.

The idea of the talk hasn’t changed though. We dived straight into technology and explained how Bitcoin provides the security it needs to make sure transactions are safe. We then zoomed out and illustrated how blockchain technology can be used for much more than just the financial world and proved that with our own DApp or distributed application running on Ethereum.

Today we received the scores of the talk. Of those that placed a card in the box: 60 were green, 23 were yellow and 5 were red. So overall 70% liked it. I do wonder what the yellow people wanted to see or what they didn’t like.

We tried to put in the 60 minutes all the things we would love to hear in a talk. There were a lot of questions during and after the session so I think we achieved what we set out to do and thats to inspire people to look at blockchain technology. It’s no silver bullet but might be a perfect fit for some projects.
